Rainforest Alliance
The Rainforest Alliance is an international organization dedicated to conserving biodiversity and ensuring sustainable livelihoods. Rainforest Alliance has made efforts to tackle deforestation in Southeast Asia through forestry certification by assisting large-scale industrial firms to come up with better and more sustainable timber harvesting practices in Indonesia for the past 20 years. Their conservation efforts have also broadened to include other Southeast Asian nations, including Sri Lanka, VietNam, Myanmar, and Papua New Guinea—countries that are also rich in biodiversity (Rainforest Alliance).
World Wildlife Fund
World Wildlife Fund is international non-governmental organization working in the field of the wilderness preservation, and the reduction of human impact on the environment. WWF’s focus on sustainable forestry around the world is concentrated in four key areas: forest certification, combating illegal logging, reforming trade and protecting forested areas. WWF works with local communities and other partners in forest management efforts so that forests can be secured and local economies can still benefit from their resources (World Widlife Fund).
